I am a control before distance kind of guy. I have no problem leaving my driver in my bag for the complete 18 holes. My home course is lined with back yards on one side, and water on the other side for the complete 18 holes. Seems like every back yard has a huge dog that barks if you get too close their fence. Land a ball in the back yard, and you could hit someone while they are relaxing back there. The water is one of the main drainage ditches that sends water to the lake. Prior to the water is a down hill slope that helps an errant ball to find a watery hiding place. Control is pretty critical on this course.

Now, once on the greens, I look at distance (speed) before I select my aim (control) line/spot
